Took a gander at your "Masticated Mistress" photos.
Me thinks likely that your rear wheel (note large divot in rear wheel) struck something that caused it to suddenly lift up.
This resulted in your loss of control with front forks sharply twisting left and subsequent impact (in endo fashion - rear up over front) with pavement by the top right front fender and left front fuel tank (see rearward impact displacement of headlights, left engine guard.
The rear then came down impacting the lower left pannier. Note: abrasions to lower left pannier and the inward force crush to the left three bar chrome protector and to the lower left rear fender.
This secondary impact force was violent enough that it displaced (shifted) the rear end to the right, which is consistent with the forces I have described.
I believe the rear wheel impact was primary and not secondary because had it been damaged in the second impact, the left side exhaust would have also been involved, which is NOT supported by the photographs.
Just my initial musing, M8 . . .

Squirreled away in the shed will see how the CES coupled to the Jardines go.

Have not ridden it since putting them on as it was raining and today was too busy, so I will report once I know more.
I don't know of anybody using Jardine silencers with a free'er flowing header - I do like the sound of the Jardines allot.
I will post more late- I don't want to hijack this thread.

Oddly - something happened on todays run out that sort of suggests to me the rear could also be the origin.
Severe gusty wind. Cranked over on the motorway (M50 orbital) at about 140kph leaning against wind origin and the rear felt as if it was been lifted up by the wind. Rolled off and came a bit more upright - it stopped. Very odd. Did not feel like bar shake or turbulence, more like somebody had a crane fixed to the tail and was lifting vertically - Maybe some aerodynamic issue with the cases!? - Was quite gentle not brusque. Like I say - odd.
Only happened in one specific zone - about 10kms long. Probably a sweet spot of wind direction to riding direction. I would have retested on the way home but the wind had died away.
